  • The attack surface has expanded through every API connection and fintech partnership woven into modern banking — and a single third-party exploit can cascade across more than 100 institutions simultaneously. Banking absorbed 83% of all API endpoint attacks in 2025. Shadow APIs, accelerated dev cycles, and legacy infrastructure running alongside modern API endpoints have created visibility gaps that attackers are actively exploiting. The 2026 SOTI financial services report covers botnets, hacktivism, API exposure, and regional attack trends across EMEA, APAC, and North America.

  • What does it take to drive measurable progress toward a greener, safer, and more inclusive internet? It takes consistent action, transparency, and a holistic strategy. We’re sharing Akamai’s 2025 Impact Report, detailing our progress across five key focus areas: Corporate Sustainability: Increased renewable energy consumption by 7% YoY to 555,600 MWh — representing 52% of total electricity consumption — executed our first two European VPPAs, and maintained 100% e-waste recycling. Our People: Grew to 11,350+ employees worldwide, achieved 80%+ engagement and inclusion scores, and expanded employee learning through platforms like Pluralsight and LinkedIn Learning. Communities: The Akamai Foundation awarded US$2.63M+ in STEM education and community grants, and employees contributed 9,093+ volunteer hours across 25 countries. Data Privacy and Security: Leveraged global threat intelligence and automation throughout 2025 to safeguard enterprise data, reinforce platform resilience, and respect user privacy. Governance: Upheld firm ethical practices through our compliance framework, completed our first Double Materiality Assessment under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and transitioned to a risk-based approach to supply chain due diligence. Guided by our ACT Framework (Accountability, Community, and Trust), we’re focused on turning these commitments into measurable, long-term results.

  • AI grabs a lot of headlines. But APIs get a lot less love — despite doing all the work. APIs retrieve the sensitive data that AI needs, trigger the logic that makes it function, and authorize every action it takes. But AI-linked APIs are often neglected, left unprotected and without proper governance. 87% of organizations reported suffering an API incident last year, at an average cost of $700,000. Check out our 2026 API Security Impact Study to see how your peers are tackling API protection — and make 2026 the year you give APIs the attention they deserve: https://ow.ly/zo2b50Z7lJl

  • Our CMO, Kim Salem-Jackson, has a message for marketers: "Your customers aren’t looking for more content; they are looking for more connection. Real human connection. Nothing will replace authenticity." AI has completely evolved the workplace and brought great benefits with it, but marketers need to understand where to draw the authenticity line to maximize the potential of LLMs. Read more on Forbes: https://ow.ly/ZfJe50Zioyp
